Oh, sweet Harriet– that is thoughtful of her to wait until you aren’t too busy for a visit. I think I work quite like you, but I haven’t completely gotten past occasionally berating myself when things don’t go completely according to plan. I need to work on that one I suppose. Have a great weekend!

i adore the love letter. the straight line into the mess and the madness – with the most important message of all coming out clear {and pretty}.

the words below were so right too. straight lines are not natural. linear work isn’t either. creativity and achievement comes from taking that little detour. when the mind is a little more challenged and a little more free.

p.s. j’aime ton/ta(?) blog.

That embroidery is so sweet! I love that you gathered (sort of) all of the thread ends. And what a poignant reminder for us not to beat ourselves up over little distractions.

Miss Pia,

I am very happy that I found your site on Design*Sponge and really look forward to each new post. Your little human observations make a lovely artistic blog (which can seem a little impersonal) so accessible. Looking forward to seeing your book and flipping through it in person. Cheers.

oh so true Pia…
But you got there. You got to the place where you know that the guilt is non productive, and that the artist needs the time to let the head wander. Best for all.

Pia, I just wanted to mention that I purchased your book. It is available here in Calgary at our local Indigo-Chapters outlet. I am so very much enjoying browsing through it. The photos are beautiful and gave me a little bit of shutterbug fever today. Well done….it is a seriously fab book.

I think it’s important to let yourself be distracted from time to time! Hey, you never know where your wandering mind will lead you…possibly a beautiful new discovery!?

What a lovely tribute to your special someone.

A very thoughtful & perceptive post Pia. Great advice that I think we should all take on board, especially on the days when we are so busy & yet feel that nothing has been achieved! Everything indeed happens for a reason.

“The flow” is a wonderful epiphany – especially when you’ve tried other methods and found them wanting. Your talent is adequate proof that your method is solid. OX
